How many deaths have been caused by great white sharks?

Answer 1

As of 19 February 2015, there have been 2,899 shark attacks worldwide with 548 fatalities since recordings were kept in 1580. If we specifically narrow it Great White Sharks, the numbers drop to 314 attacks of which 80 are fatal in the same time period. Of course, for most of that time, the type of shark attacking was not identified, so it is quite possible that a significant portion of the 400+ fatalities recorded as a shark attack were Great White Shark attacks as well.

Answer 2

Instances of shark attacks are very seldom and rarely happen. Shark attacks usually aren't on purpose. They are usually caused by some mistake, such as one accidentally provoking the shark or the shark accidentally mistaking someone as a natural prey. Sharks generally don't attack humans because they want to.

Besides, humans kill more sharks than sharks kill humans.

o_o Global Shark Attack File records 69 unprovoked attacks of which 5 were fatal.

Answer 3

only 6 people a year are killed from a great white shark attack (more people are killed from coconuts than sharks)
